San Diego Comic-Con Counter Protest

[Ghastly]

Super Heroes vs. the Westboro Baptist Church​

"They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi and...kittens?​

Unbeknownst to the dastardly fanatics of the Westboro Baptist Church, the good folks of San Diego's Comic-Con were prepared for their arrival with their own special brand of superhuman counter protesting chanting "WHAT DO WE WANT" "GAY SEX" "WHEN DO WE WANT IT" "NOW!" while brandishing ironic (and some sincere) signs. Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom's finest stood and delivered.​

As you can see below, the fantastic fanboys delivered the the church a humorous dose of sweet fan justice. ComicsAlliance was there to witness the spectacle in full, which you can indulge in yourself after the jump."

Nice work, that. The best way to counter a group that takes themselves way too seriously? Make fun of them taking themselves way too seriously. And of course a bunch of nerds and geeks would come up with that. They're a bunch of nerds and geeks.

I'm actually quite impressed they prepared for that. Kudos to them!

Hahaha that's awesome. Apparently some heavy metal fans did something similar when they tried to picket Ronnie James Dio's memorial service a while back. This is the best way to fight these butters I reckon. They'd absolutely love it if people confronted them physically, but counter picketing them probably pisses them off!

Heh, so this is what people do in their spare time?

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know how far people can go with these protests and such. Doesn't matter what they do. Comic-Con will still go ahead each year. xD
